Soul Asylum, Joe Nichols, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas and Halestorm are the acts set to headline the newly revived Taste of Minnesota July 3 through 6 on Harriet Island in downtown St. Paul.

Nearly 30 bands are booked to play two stages during the festival, which returns to action this summer after its previous owners filed for bankruptcy in 2010. Admission will be free each day until 3 p.m. After that, it's $10, which includes tickets worth $5 at the festival's food vendors.

Hometown heroes Soul Asylum headlines opening day, which features a mostly local lineup including "The Voice" veteran Tim Mahoney and Tina and the B-Sides.

Starship featuring Mickey Thomas, the group behind '80s hits "We Built This City" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," will be the main attraction on the Fourth of July, with retro acts Badfinger featuring Joey Molland and the Marshall Tucker Band also on the bill alongside New Orleans' Cowboy Mouth.

Female-fronted metal band Halestorm top the lineup July 5, with support from Cinderella's Tom Keifer, Gypsy and Crow.

Country star Joe Nichols ("Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off," "Sunny and 75") wraps things up July 6 with the Tim Sigler Band, Devon Worley Band and Maiden Dixie.

The second stage will offer additional bands each afternoon, including local favorites Ipso Facto and Tom Petty cover band Free Fallin'.
